Job description

At Midas, we tackle real-world engineering challenges to reshape the future of finance. Our mission is to build the fastest and most reliable products, delivering a seamless experience that empowers everyone to manage their money effortlessly.

More than 4 million users use our product.

Backed by an $80M Series B, the largest fintech investment ever in Turkey, we are scaling faster than ever.

Read Before You Apply 🚨

This role is not for everyone. We are looking for outlier engineers who:

Have owned products end-to-end, from idea to production monitoring. Have managed live incidents, written post-mortems, and implemented long-term fixes. Passionate about delivering exceptional product experiences and maximizing user impact, beyond just writing code.

Years of experience don’t matter — what matters is the depth of ownership, incident handling, and product impact you’ve delivered.

If this doesn’t sound like you, no worries — Midas has other opportunities that may be a better fit.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and build scalable, low-latency systems powering real-time trading and financial data.
  • Take full ownership: from ideation, architecture,  development, release & monitoring in production.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, and infrastructure teams to deliver impactful features.

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong fundamentals in computer science and system design.
  • Hands-on backend development experience.
  • Deep knowledge of relational databases, caching systems, and distributed systems.
  • Proficient in containerized environments and modern cloud infrastructure, ensuring resilient and efficient deployments
  • Familiarity with event-driven architectures, microservices, reactive programming models.
  • Proven incident response experience in large-scale production environments is a strong plus.
  • Prior exposure to financial or mission-critical systems is a strong plus.

How We Work

  • Full ownership — you don’t wait, you solve.
  • First principles mindset — you question assumptions and rebuild where needed.
  • Balance speed & quality — you ship fast, but always clean.
  • Product mindset — you care about the user impact, not just the code.
  • Calm under pressure — incidents happen; you lead with clarity and composure.

We don’t measure success by how many features you ship — but by the impact your work has on millions of users. If you thrive in high-stakes environments, love solving real problems, and own your work end-to-end, we want to meet you.

Why work at Midas

  • Culture: Described as a fast-growing fintech with a flat hierarchy and a focus on ownership. However, Glassdoor-style ratings are low (2.0/5.0 based on 3 reviews) – take with caution. The large number of ex-employees from top Turkish tech companies (Trendyol, Getir, Papara) suggests a competitive talent environment.
  • Remote/Hybrid Policy: Not explicitly stated, but offices in Istanbul (Uskudar and Üsküdar). Likely hybrid given the tech-heavy workforce.
  • Engineering Culture: Strong emphasis on modern tools (Kubernetes, GitOps, observability stack). Engineering makes up ~43% of the workforce (149 out of 350). Active hiring for senior and lead engineering roles.
  • Perks: Not detailed, but as a well-funded Series B company, likely offers competitive compensation (4.0/5.0 compensation rating) and equity.
